Data's Cat SpotThe elites are lying about the danger!
Stamets [Mirror]I’m first in line. Fixes all my problems.
-
Physical Disability? Not anymore as the nanites fix shit and build implants to compensate.
-
Limited Resources? Nope. Don’t gotta worry about whether I’d get to the food bank in time or what bills to pay now!
-
Loneliness? Literally impossible
-
Mental Health? No mental left to health.
SIGN ME UP SIR.
Semi-Hemi-DemigodLoneliness? Literally impossible
This is my sticking point. There's nothing better than the feeling of being alone in the house, at least for a little while.
Now if it came with a fully customizable virtual world where I could be alone if I wanted to, then I'd be down.
XariphonIsn't that just Unimatrix Zero?
Well if I’m going to have to worry about the borg queen trying to crush Unimatrix Zero, forgettaboudit.
Theres a good chance most of us wouldn't be considered worthwhile drones, to be honest.
I would be broken down into nutrients instantly.
I believe in you, too!
EdibleFriendBeen there.
I’d be OK with being turned into nutrients
Something something circle of life
At least I’d be useful for once ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you for your sacrifice
Still, at least I’d be useful for something
Then gooify me Alienware Dommy mommy
“A remarkable creature. Your design nearly passes as human.”
“…I am human?”
“Ew! well, then you need to drink more water.”
Is that an actual line from the doctor?
It’s from Lower Decks. A simulation of the Borg Queen says this to Boimler while he’s taking a test on a mini-holodeck.
Holopod Drill - Borg Encounter - Star Trek Lower Decks S2E8
Figures
- physical disability: that might just get you euthanized.
- limited resources: again, I see euthanasia as a possible Borg solution.
- loneliness: ever heard of being lonely in a crowd?
- mental health: again, a malfunctioning drone would likely just get euthanized.
Some of these points assume the Borg we saw outside of Voyager, because Voyager really neutered the Borg in so many ways.
- Physical Disability: I’m okay with that
- Limited Resources: I’m okay with that
- Loneliness: Painfully aware
- Mental Health: I’m okay with that
Still a step up in all honesty.
OberonSwansonIf I was accepted as a drone, it’d be fine by me. I’m so tired of worrying about everyday existence in the devolving hellscape of a world we now occupy.
But, if you have a physical disability, they don’t bother assimilating you I thought?
Alternatively: You have no distinctiveness that will augment our own, so we’re going to liquefy you and feed you the hive.
Better situation than what I got going
ToxicDivinity [comrade/them]was that borg policy? every borg individual had some beneficial distinctiveness? I guess I’ll get liquefied then
The Borg are interested in both numbers and diversity. It was a later retcon from Voyager that they reject some hosts
The only downside, really, is the retconned-in CEO with all that individuality at the top of the otherwise equal system. When she started blowing up cubes just to flex on her enemies was a real moment.
I didn’t know we had a queen. I thought we were an autonomous collective
How can I join, pls?
Wait no. You guys aren’t supposed to be excited about it.
Too bad!
Don’t tell me how to live my life
I thought that was exactly what you wanted.
OUR life
Assima-malation!
What a wonderful phrase
Assima-malation!
Ain’t no passing craze
It means no worries
For the rest of your days
It’s our problem-free philosophy
Assima-malation!
Lemmy is better than Reddit because people here take the time to use the right number of syllables.
And also all the other reasons
teftI am Excretus of Borg
Free healthcare?
Unfortunately also all the implants you don’t want
ryvenOh, you’ll want them, alright. Or rather, the Borg will want them, and after you’re assimilated there won’t be any difference.
Ha yeah that’s true. So hey, no downsides! Where do I sign up‽
The Earth First faction would totally gaslight everyone about the existence of the Borg.
The Borg?! Ha! Yet another radical leftist Federation boogeyman! I’ll be credits to navy beans that it’s just an excuse to expand Starfleet and take away your phasers! Wolf 359 was an inside job! But in case you do get infected with nanoprobes be sure to buy my Ivermectin^TM brand purity pills, only 4 bars of Gold Pressed Latinum!
Depressingly accurate
Lol that just made me realize the terrorist group from enterprise was called Terra Prime. Damnit how did I not see it!
NumbersCanBeFunSign me up. Humanity sucks and I don’t see light at the end of the tunnel 🤣
dmonzelBeat me to it by mere minutes.
Also, fuck Steven “Emotional Abuser” Chowder.
theodewerethe poster child for all screaming, pants-wetting Momma's Boys
Is there a mene generator for this?
We can only hope someone will make one using this, I (like many) hate the guy in the original picture from this post.
I really need to get back into webdev
If you have the skill, you would be the hero we need.
Is he an ass? The name sounds sort of familiar, but I don’t know who this dude is.
agent_flounderYes. Yes he is. I didn’t realize that meme was him. Now I’m retroactively pissed.
Damn, I just know the meme. This is why we can’t have nice things.
What a tool
His sole piece of merchandise reads “Socialism Is For F*gs.” Asterisk included.
He claims it says “figs.” Because he’s an idiot, and he thinks you are too.
